Widespread Panic was riding a vibrant wave of creativity around the time of their October 28, 2000 live performance at the UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans. Just a few months prior, they released *'Live in the Classic City,'* a celebrating double album that showcased their dynamic sound and electrifying live shows. This release wasn't just a testament to their prowess on stage but also served as a kind of love letter to their devoted fanbase. By the time of the New Orleans concert, the band was well-established, blending Southern rock, jazz, and funk into a captivating musical experience. Interestingly, this period marked the beginning of their burgeoning fame within the jam-band scene, often engaging with fans through improvisation and unique setlists. This show distinctly reflects that improvisational spirit, notably with the inclusion of songs like "Lawyers, Guns, And Money" that keeps fans guessing and grooving along.
